Name: Ryoshi Inoru
Hero Name: Paladantis
Home: Tokyo, JP
Age: 16
Height: 6’0
Weight: 163

Quirk Type: Mutation
Quirk: Mantis
Strengths: Ryoshi has many traits that a praying mantis would have, including greater strength proportional to his body weight, a hard carapace, 2 compound eyes for seeing movement, and the rest for sensing light, wings for gliding and jumping (though he's too big to fly), and clawed hands with sharp blades extending just beneath the wrist.

The advantages that these provide are pretty obvious at first. Many cutting attacks aren't as effective, being unable to cut through his carapace.  He can fall from great heights, and his carapace keeps him pretty well guarded.  

Weaknesses: That said, most of Ryoshi’s strengths are almost solely enhanced abilities.  It lacks the expression of creativity in his usage.  And while his carapace is hard and it may allow for heavy defense, his joints are especially vulnerable.  And while crushing attacks might need sufficient force behind them, the damage to his carapace is substantial if it can squash him.

Ryoshi also currently lacks any means of ranged combat, needing to get in close in order to be a threat.

Background/Personality:
Ryoshi grew up without a father. It wasn't his fault or anything. He died before his mom even knew she was pregnant. But that didn't matter too much. His mom had to work hard for him though. The two of them being carnivorous would have been bad were it not for the fact that she was a butcher by trade. So meat wasn't an issue for them. However, he always had to entertain himself more often than not. This led to his interests falling pretty predictably at the top of the bell curve.

At school he just fell in line. Thanks to the uniqueness of quirks, he wasn't teased for his appearance at all, even if he wasn't the traditionally attractive person. But for the most part, he just followed the crowd and did what everyone else did. So he applied for UA because, in his own words, "I can do good." And that was about it for him.

Ryoshi is actually a pretty average kid. He was the average of his class, he wasn't the leader of his friends, he liked the most popular girls, he watched the most popular shows, played the most popular games, and loved the most popular heroes. If he were a character in Shonen Jump, he'd be just a side character. A funny one, but a side character non-the-less. He might have a funny joke now and then and get his own episode once or twice, but ultimately he's just another face in the crowd. It's a wacky one for sure, but nothing too special.

The thing is, he recognizes this. He sees that his identity is kinda fake. Who is he? Is he just the average? He applied to UA because that's what everyone thought was cool and so did he. Was that his own choice though? These thoughts are his own, but they typically don't show even to himself.

That said, Ryoshi finds himself opinionated about the most mundane things. Pork vs Beef, Mayo vs Ketchup, Maids vs Nurses and so much more. You will always have a fun conversation with him if your looking for something stupid to discuss. He has also been known to use his wit to quite an effect from time to time, usually willing to jest at the expense of others (or himself).

How did he enter UA: Exam

Ryoshi was actually pretty remarkably unremarkable in his exams.  He passed, obviously so he was more remarkable than a hefty number, but of the others who passed, Ryoshi ranked 10th in offense, and 15th in support, being able to sense others who were struggling from a greater distance than others, and taking those opportunities to rack up more points
